The working studio of Joel Jover, a noted Cuban artist with exhibits in New York, Vienna and Italy. By comparison, his works here are a bargain (though still not pocket change). Multimedia works and paintings deal with themes of identity related to Cuba's complicated heritage and relationship with the diaspora. A visit is best if you speak Spanish. There's plenty more at his magnificent home, Casa de Arte Jover.
